[QUOTE="Kav, post: 837998, member: 21442"] LOL, well I can run a consistent sub 6 minute mile... :) I mainly ride open desert so I haven’t changed anything on the suspension internally save for the oil, but when I was in the woods at DW I softened up every thing from factroy settings to about 8 clicks took out ¾ on the high speed compression, and took out a ton of pre-load out of the rear spring. Stock settings will pogo you through woods in a most unpleasant manner. But it you loosen things up the bike will behave much better. That said I’m planning on replacing the rear spring to something lighter. The forks worked great, but the rear end would buck a little when I picked up the speed. You may have to replace the forks also, but first you’ll have to ride it and go from there (just like any other bike) The YZ does sit tall. I road a MXC200 (or was it an EXC?) with CR80 bars once and really liked how much closer to the ground it felt. I have dropped my font end in the triple clamps about 5mm, but have not done any other mods like new dog bones or filing the rear subframe mount to drop the rear of the bike. However it does start very easy for bomb starts… And Lou just said what I was going to ask about using a block, or a center stand. [/QUOTE]
